Nearly six decades after completing her degree, Judith LaManna Rivette remains a strong supporter of Onondaga Community College.

More than five decades after graduating, Rivette remains deeply connected to the institution. Her commitment has extended beyond words. During the past year, Rivette supported the purchase of winter coats for students and helped fund a professional dining etiquette event designed to prepare students for networking opportunities and workplace success.

"I want people to know they should give to organizations like OCC," she said. "It is the foundation for people here. Not everyone has to do more than two years of college. OCC's degrees have skills attached to them. You have something to offer when you get out of OCC."
